Boro Up to Fifth After Blyth Late Show

Sunday, 15 January 2023 07:55

Scarborough Athletic are back within three points of the National North leaders after an injury time winner at the Flamingo Land Stadium.

The Seadogs fell behind to 13th-minute free-kick from visitors Blyth Spartans.

However, Boro fought back as Bailey Gooda's far-post finish.

Blyth regained the advantage, six minutes into the second half.

It took until 12 minutes from time for Kieran Glynn to level again after good work from Luca Colvile.

Boro pressed repeatedly and had their reward two minutes into injury time when Alex Wiles struck.

Manager Jono Greening spoke to Scarborough Athletic TV after the five-goal thriller:
